What to Watch Saturday

“Mad Max: Fury Road,” a critics’ favorite last year, makes its way to cable. Judge Jeanine Pirro takes on the case of Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix hit “Making a Murderer.” And Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie try to avoid commitment — and each other — in “Sleeping With Other People.”

What’s On TV

MADMAX: FURY ROAD (2015) 8 p.m. on HBO. This George Miller reboot landed on a lot of “best of” lists last year, and it’s easy to see why: It has Hugh Keays-Byrne as Immortan Joe, a tyrannical C.E.O. who scorches a death’s-head insignia into the people he owns; Tom Hardy as Max, now a “blood bag” kept alive for transfusions; and Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, a rebel with glazed eyes, a prosthetic arm and a souped-up truck full of the women Joe keeps for breeding. And he wants them back. “It’s all great fun, and quite rousing as well — a large-scale genre movie that is at once unpretentious and unafraid to bring home a message,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times.

V MARATHON 10 a.m. on El Rey. The Visitors and their fleet of motherships are back in the 1980s sci-fi classics “V: The Original Mini-Series” and “V: The Final Battle,” shown in rotation through Sunday morning.

THE GOOD THIEF (2003) 3:15 p.m. on Starz Cinema. Nick Nolte plays Bob, a majestic ruin of a gambler and heroin addict who is pulled into a Monte Carlo casino heist by some art-swindler thugs in Neil Jordan’s ultimate caper, a variation on “Bob le Flambeur,” Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1956 film noir. Nutsa Kukhianidze is the beautiful Russian teenager who trails Bob; Tcheky Karyo is the detective friend he has to stay a heartbeat ahead of. Writing in The Times, Elvis Mitchell called it “a work of brazen ebullience.”

STEVEN AVERY: GUILTY OR FRAMED? A JUSTICE SPECIAL 8 p.m. on Fox News. Judge Jeanine Pirro and a panel of legal experts jump on the “Making a Murderer” bandwagon.

MY SWEET AUDRINA (2015) 8 p.m. on Lifetime. A girl with an unreliable memory is haunted by nightmares about her sister, who shared her name and her birthday, and was left for dead after being attacked. But why is Audrina the only one who doesn’t know what really happened? India Eisley stars in this adaptation of the V. C. Andrews novel.

SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE (2015) on iTunes. Jason Sudeikis snarks his way through this rom-com as Jake, a Columbia student who lost his virginity late, only to morph into a womanizer. Alison Brie summons the screwball as Lainey, his partner in deflowering, now a serial cheater. After remeeting cute years later at a 12-step program for sex addicts, they go on a sort-of date — and then, fearing a backslide into old habits, spend the rest of the film trying to subvert their lust. But while Mr. Sudeikis and Ms. Brie are “attractively matched,” Manohla Dargis wrote in The Times, the director Leslye Headland “doesn’t have fresh takes on the romantic comedy — sex, gender or why, even as the world changes, it never gets old watching people fall for each other.”
